Moon Beam continued to hum to herself and sway slowly, completely unaware of everything around her. She had tuned out every sound besides her own humming, and was pretty happy. A slight smile made its way onto her face, and she could feel her mane flowing around her shoulders and neck, not caring about it much. Senia had heard Astrid talking, and her attention was taken away from Frost to the little filly. However, when she looked over in the direction that she thought she had heard the voice, all she saw was Steel, who still seemed to be laying there and hadn't moved. She raised an eye brow, then turned back to Frost. "Woah, thought I heard Astrid. Speaking of which, where did she go? Last I saw she was walking over to Steel." she said, looking back over at Steel's motionless body, a confused look on her face. Suddenly, she saw him nod. "Wait, is he awake?" she asked, pretty much talking to herself. Then, he stood up and began walking away. Senia looked over to Astrid, who had been under Steel's wing, covered and out of sight. "Oh..." she said, feeling a bit stupid. She watched Steel limp away. "Steel? What are you doing?" she asked, standing up and facing him. Senia looked at Moon Beam, noticing she hadn't said anything to her since they had gotten back. She seemed to not have realized Steel being awake, or to have heard her yell to him. "Hey, Moon Beam?" she asked, taking a few steps toward her. She noticed the glowing flowers, and heard her humming. When she got closer, she realized her slight rocking back and forth. "Moon Beam? What are you doing?" she asked. She was still too far away for her voice to phase Moon Beam at all, so she kept swaying and humming happily, feeling the slight breeze. However, she could feel Senia's aura. She didn't pay her any attention, loving the way she felt at the moment.

"Well it's only because my curse likes to protect me." Moon Beam said in defense. "But wait, I don't want to go yet. I want to keep talking to you. I mean, unless you want me to go.." she said, pouting a bit on her last sentence. She looked at the castle, then back at Steel. "Oh come on don't leave yet!" she thought.

"Alright. I'll be right over there with Senia and Frost if you need me." Moon Beam said, smiling at Astrid. She walked over to the others and sat a few feet from Senia. She didn't say anything to either ponies, just sat there looking off in the distance. All she wanted to do was think. "Aah, that's fine. I guess I'm sorry, too, for not talking to you sooner." Senia said, shaking his hoof and smiling warmly. "So -if you don't mind me asking- what's up with you eye there? It looks, weird.. But like, the good kind of weird." she said. Moon Beam tuned the others out, wanting only to hear her own thoughts. She looked up at the horizon, noticing that the sun was already setting. "It's been almost a whole day? That Spawn thing took up a lot of time, I guess.." she thought. Her mane was being picked up a little bit by the slight breeze, and it began to move around her neck and shoulders. Usually, she would have pushed it back by now, since she didn't much like the feeling of it. However, she didn't even pay it any attention. "Today's been so... chaotic.. I really don't know what to think of it. Grell up and left really early this morning, Spawn took over Steel's body and put his soul into a staff, Senia got mad and began glowing and flew off, and now Grell left again. Yeah, great day, huh?" she thought. She closed her eyes, and thought of one of her favorite songs, humming quietly as she swayed. Her cutie mark began to glow, as well as some of the flowers around her.

"Oh, they're landing! Move!" Moon Beam said, pushing Steel behind some trees. She tumbled over him as they hit the ground. She got up and looked at him, blushing a bit. "I don't want them to know that I'm here yet. I want to talk to you more." she said quietly, and smiled. "Trust issues? Okay, listen to this. I have this curse, and like, it used to pretty much control my life. But, I finally learned how to control it. However, now it kind of won't let me lie, unless it's life or death. But yer again, you probably don't believe that do you?" she said, giggling. "You could test me if you want, you know?"

"Hah, sweet! I knew you'd say yes!" I exclaimed, then took a victorious bite of my salad. I looked at Spacer as I chewed happily, trying my best not to laugh. I watched as Spacer got up, then finished my large bite of food. "That'd be totally bubbly, like, crazy bubbly. I like the way you think." I said, sliding out of the seat and standing next to her. I smiled at her, then looked at Dust. He looked a bit nervous. "Oh, wait. You think I'd have time to go back to my place and change? I mean, it's not too far from here, and I fly fast. But wait, would I have time to do my hair?" I touched my mane with my hoof, then looked at her. "I probably sound like such a diva right now, don't I? Sorry, I'm not usually like this. I just want to look nice, you know?" I said, looking over at my salad and my book. "Well, I need to bring those home anyway, so I'll fly quick and do that, and then I'll meet you at the place. Sound good?" I asked. I looked over at Dust, who still looked pretty nervous. "He's a pretty awkward pony, isn't he? Awe, that's adorable.." I thought. "So, what's your plan?" I asked, sliding next to him.

Moon Beam and Senia made it back to where Frost, Astrid, and Steel where within a half hour. They would have been there quicker, but they decided to have a little bit of fun on their way there. The two had pushed each other, hid in clouds and trees, and at one point, Senia used a spell on Moon Beam to cause her wings to go stiff. She didn't fall too long before Senia reversed the spell, letting her fly again. However, she did end up getting lost in the clouds when she was hiding from Moon Beam. Also, they ended up walking through the forest for a while, taking a slight detour to have time to talk. The two landed not too far from where Steel lay. They were laughing and joking still, pushing and bumping into each other. However, when Moon Beam noticed Astrid lying next to Steel, she stopped laughing. Instead, she just smiled, and walked over to them. "Hey, Astrid." Moon Beam said, shaking the filly gently. "Are you awake?" she asked. Senia watched Moon Beam, still laughing. She walked over to Frost, and sat next to him. "So, nothing with Steel yet, huh?" she asked, still giggling a bit. It had been a long time since her and Moon Beam were able to hang out like that, and she was pretty happy. She thought about how they were going to be spending even more time together now that she was going with Moon Beam and the others to help her with her curse. Which made her excited and even happier. So, she couldn't help but smile.

"Well, I'm no liar. Buuut I bet you think I'm lying about that. However, it's true. I rarely ever lie. I kind of can't, actually. But that's a completely different story." Moon Beam said. As she flew, she would occasionally look up at the carriage, making sure she was still below it, just in case it veered off in a different direction.

Moon Beam raised an eyebrow at Steel. "Observing? Okay, that sounds just a bit weird." she said. She looked back at the carriage as it got farther and farther away. "Yeah, I might want to catch up to that. But no more 'observing', okay? If you want to know anything about me, all you have to do is ask, weirdo." she giggled, then flew off to catch up with the carriage.

Moon Beam watched Grell walk away, then looked at Frost. "Yeah. I'm pretty sure it was that armor Steel has." she said, looking at Steel's body on the ground. She wanted to go up to him, and sit there until he woke up. However, she had something else to take care of. "Well... Uhm, I really should go after Senia. She's a lot like me, and she's pretty dangerous when she's upset. I need to make sure she's okay." she said, then lifted into the air. "If he wakes up, do as Grell said. I'll find you guys later." she said, then flew off at almost the speed of light. She knew Senia had to be pretty far away by now, so she had to use all of her energy to go as fast as she could. Moon Beam was surprised at how well she could see the world now, without actually seeing any of it. She used sounds to tell where non-living objects where. The things that were alive had an aura. No matter how dark or how almost invisible, they all had an aura. Also, her sense of smell was incredible, which helped quite a bit. Soon, she could see Senia in the distance, her silver ribbon trailing behind her. Moon Beam picked up speed, pushing herself to the ultimate limit. However, she needed to do whatever would get her to her friend the fastest. Once she had caught up with Senia, she flew a few kilometers in front of her, then stopped, turning to face her. Senia ended up crashing into Moon Beam, but had enough time to slow herself, softening the impact. "Moon Beam? What are you doing? Shouldn't you be with Steel?" Senia asked, breathing heavily. Her eyes' and wings' glow had faded, but her cutie mark was still blindingly bright. "I came to find you. I know how you can get, Senia. I didn't want anypony getting hurt, especially you." Moon Beam said, looking into her friend's eyes. "I'm fine, Moon Beam. But Steel isn't. You should be with him." Senia made an attempt to fly off, but Moon Beam stopped her. "No. I know what happened back there. I can read your emotions like an open book right now. The way you are breathing, the sound of your voice. I mean, even the smell of your sweat, which I know is gross, but it's true. My senses are bucking incredible right now, you can't hide much from me." she giggled. "Look, I know what you felt, and I saw it, too. Don't worry. We can fix this. You just need some time to cool down, and get your mind off of it. Let's do something fun, shall we?" Moon Beam smiled brightly. Senia looked at her, her feelings and thoughts showing in her face. Then, she smiled. "Okay, let's go." she said. Her cutie mark was still glowing, but her anger was gone. "Race ya back!" Moon Beam yelled, then shot off back in the direction she came from. "No fair!" Senia called after her. She then flew off as fast as she could, another streak of light following behind her. This time, it was a very light green. ((btw the green streak is supposed to represent peacefulness, so yeah... thats why it's green now))

Moon Beam stopped flying momentarily, then quickly began following the carriage again. She knew somepony was behind her, she could feel it. She slowed down slightly, slowly falling behind the carriage. Suddenly, she turned quickly and shot towards the pony behind her. She reached out her hooves, hitting the pony in the shoulders, and flew down, pushing him. When she finally had him pinned to the ground, she noticed who it was. "Steel? Okay, don't do that. I really don't do well when ponies follow me. I can sense when they do, which makes it worse. What were you doing anyway, stalker?" she asked, laughing. She moved off of him, then reached out her hoof to help him up.

Moon Beam was flying peacefully, smiling as her thoughts wandered. Suddenly, she felt something on her back. She flew up to the carriage, and focused on the side of it. A small, red, misty ray of light extended from her shoulder to the carriage. This would keep her flying safely beside it. She then turned her head to look at her back, and saw the tracker. Her eye screen came into her vision, and told her that it was Aries' tracker. She shook her head, then looked forward again, letting her eye screen fade and making the misty ray of light disappear. She then flew back down away from the carriage, and began thinking again, not worrying about the tracker.

Moon Beam and Senia both looked a Grell, aggravation showing in their faces. "Didn't I tell you not to tell me what to do, Grell? You don't know everything, and you can't do everything. So stop acting like you're so much more powerful than everypony." Senia said, taking a step towards him. "I'll do whatever the hell I want, and I am absolutely not doing what you tell me to do!" she yelled, her cutie mark beginning to glow because of her anger. "Why don't you just go back to wherever the buck you went when you up and left earlier last night, and stay there! Because I don't want to see your revolting face! Ever!" Senia screamed, her cutie mark as bright as the sun. Then, she quickly lifted into the air, and flew off in the opposite direction of the house, a silver ribbon of light behind her. "Somepony got on her bad side." Moon Beam smirked, then walked over to Astrid, standing by her side. She then turned to Grell, waiting for him to do something. Senia kept flying, her cutie mark's glow growing in intensity by the second. Soon, her eyes and wings were glowing as well. However, she didn't seem to notice, or simply didn't care. She just wanted to fly faster and faster, and go anywhere that Grell wasn't.

Moon Beam soon caught up with the carriage, and decided to fly below it. She didn't want Hank or Celestia to know that she was there. What she really wanted was some time to think, so she stayed a good distance away from the carriage. However, there wasn't much she could think about other than Steel and Aries. They just seemed so interesting to her. "The way they fought was pretty amazing. However, could help if there was a little less blood. Blood is totally scary-making." she thought, realizing she was even thinking in fluent pretty now. ((by the way, just so you guys know if you didn't already, "pretty speak" is from this book I read called "Uglies" and theres this whole series but, my point is, when it says like, "she smiled a pretty smile", its just something from a book, sorry if its confusing or anything lol))

Moon Beam looked at Aries, a bit agitated. "Well, it seems to follow me as well. But, a piece of advise for you, Mr. Up-Tight: Why not loosen up a little bit? You might sound a little less arrogant." she snapped, then looked to Steel. "Don't get into too much trouble. I'd really love to see you again." Moon Beam smiled, then flew off in the direction that the carriage had gone.

"Of course. I'll see you soon!" Moon Beam called to Hank and Celestia, turning back to the three ponies. She watched as the jester gradually killed himself. She stared with a vacant expression on her face. "So not pretty-making.." she said, looking back up to the Steel and Aries. "Well uhm, I might as well get going. I don't want to keep them waiting for too long." Moon Beam closed her eyes, and her wings began to glow. Soon, the blades that had extended from them disappeared, and she opened her eyes again. "But, this was.. bubbly." she said, smiling a pretty smile. "I hope to see you again soon. Maybe the next time won't be so," she looked down at the jester's body, lying lifeless on the ground. "death-making." she said nervously, then looked up again.

"Are you kidding me, Frost? That filly has determination, strength, and courage out the plot. She will be just fine." Moon Beam laughed, watching her go up against Spawn. "Besides, she has two holy daggers. Spawn's already significantly weaker." she said. Again, she saw the scythe, but no pony holding it. However, she turned away, not wanting to dawn on it too much. Suddenly, she heard a loud thud, and turned to see Spawn on the ground. She heard his laugh, and gave him a confused look. "Whatever is wrong with him, it's pretty serious.." she said, looking over at Senia. "So, this little plan of yours. What's it about?" she asked. "Well, it's actually kind of complicated..." Senia said, trailing off. She was looking at Spawn with the same confused expression Moon Beam had. "Alright, but before you explain, I'd like to go check on Astrid." Moon Beam said, lifting into the air. Senia followed her lead and began flying, too. "Come on, Frost." she said as her and Senia flew towards Spawn. They lighted down gracefully in front of his face, both looking at him with a blank and cold expression. Moon Beam stared down at his face, watching his dark aura. This time, she didn't shudder at it. Instead, she got angry. Her eyes shot to look at the staff, then quickly back to Spawn without moving her head. "So, the almighty Spawn on the ground, bested by a little filly." Moon Beam said, keeping her cold expression. "You did not make a good first impression." Senia said. giving a mocking smirk. She looked over at Grell. She gave a short, unamused laugh, then turned her focus back to the dragon lying on the ground in front of her. "Astrid! Where are you?" Moon Beam called, looking around in all directions, searching for the filly's and the daggers' auras.

This is like, so amazing Whoever did this, is like, sdjalkdhakdhs Cuz I can't even explain it This is absolutely perfect, I love it

"Well, I would make a pretty corpse, wouldn't I?" Moon Beam asked, using her pretty laugh. She then watched as Steel and Aries fought him, smiling her pretty smile the whole time. She was actually quite amused with this little encounter, since she hadn't done anything of very much interest for a while. "So, seems like you two know this weirdo with the hat?" she asked, looking at Steel and Aries.

Moon Beam watched Astrid closely, making sure she was ready to catch her at any time. When Spawn flung Astrid at her, she was already preparing herself. The filly hit Moon Beam's chest with a thud, sending her back a foot or two. Moon Beam wrapped her arms around Astrid as soon as she had come into contact with her chest, and held tight. Loosening her grip a little, Moon Beam looked down at Astrid. "Are you okay?" she asked, looking back up at Spawn. She saw a scythe in mid-air, which was emitting a very strong white light to her. She then began to descend into the trees, the lighted down, still holding Astrid. Senia spun to the side, narrowly dodging the fire that was shot at her. When she stopped, she was upright again. She looked at Spawn, glaring intently. "Thought I'd come back and play." she said blankly, flying over to where Moon Beam and Astrid were. Moon Beam looked at Senia as she neared them, then turned to Frost. "Well, little Astrid here has her holy dagger, and mine. Holy weapons are really effective on Spawn, if you couldn't already tell. But she's been getting him while I stay back, ready to help out." she explained. "But, uh, help me out here. Who was holding that scythe? They don't seem to have an aura or anything, yet the scythe does so, I'm kind of lost." she said, looking over at Spawn again. "Moon Beam, I have a plan. But we need a little time, so that I can explain and so that we can prepare for it. I mean, if you're up to the task." Senia said. Moon Beam looked at her, then down at Astrid. "Okay, but in the meantime, we need someponies to take care of Spawn and keep him weak. Do you two think you can handle that? Well, plus the other pony with the scythe." Moon Beam said, looking from Astrid to Frost.

"I'll be fine, Celestia. Go." Moon Beam said calmly, keeping her eyes on the jester. Her eyes flashed red quickly, and the chain dropped in front of her. She kept a pretty smile on her face, yet almost completely dropped the pretty act. "How come we haven't met before? You're totally bubbly." she said, taking a step towards the jester. "Aren't you having fun? I know I am."

Omc the ship feels... Baaagghhh I can't even can't even right now... Soarin x Dashie is one of my favorite ships, no lie Can't even... Nope..

Oh Rainbow Dash, we love you too

Moon Beam saw the glint of the knife, and her eye screen quickly faded. She snapped out the wing closest to Hank, sending one of her own blades flying. It hit the knife just in time, stopping it from hitting the pony. "Oh, bubbly! Try something else, this is fun." Moon Beam said eagerly, smiling brightly at the jester. She hadn't gotten much information yet, but she knew she needed to stay alert. She'd have to do her research later.

Senia looked back at Grell, a blank expression on her face. Her eyes flashed red, and her eyes narrowed slightly. "Remember, don't tell me what to do." she snapped, then suddenly, she disappeared. She appeared again not too far from Spawn, but far enough that she would be safe. She heard his foot steps, and followed the sound. As she walked, she thought about Grell. "I really can't believe this... He leaves all unexpectedly without any warning or good-bye, then says he doesn't want me hurt. Like he cares! Well, let's just see how he likes this side of me." Senia thought, looking back toward where Grell had been. Her ears laid back and she shook her head. She then jumped into the air and began flying. Once she was above the trees, she looked for Moon Beam. As soon as Senia found her, she began flying towards her slowly. She flipped over, flying upside down now. All she wanted to do for now was relax and fly. When she got the chance, she would go to Moon Beam with her plan. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry for ever doubting you, Astrid. And don't worry, I'll be ready." Moon Beam said as they quickly drew closer to Spawn. When he put on his armor, she just flew faster. Soon, they were right near his head. "Be careful, Astrid." she said, flying in a bit closer.

"Oh hey! A jester! Are you going to perform for us?" Moon Beam mocked, smiling a pretty smile. Her eye screen came back into view, and she focused on it, looking at the jester. She kept a casual look on her face, trying not to give away what she was doing. The only thing to indicate what she was doing was the tiny movements of her eyes, which were extremely subtle. She watched her eye screen intently, reading every bit of information that showed up on the jester.
